What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Archie Bunker]

What lights are those on your bumper? I've been trying to decide on some. Really would like to get some ambers mounted up before our awesome Michigan winter hits.

this is what I grabbed on the cheap,,,got them on just before Jeep Jamboree on Drummond Island this past January. They worked great.

Paracord grab handles on front rollbars!

Don’t quite know what you mean by bump. But in case anyone is interested I found these Jeep brand grab handles on EBay. Get them delivered to me on Monday. They are made for Wranglers. But I trust they should work just fine on a Gladiator, should be the same size/diameter roll bar. Strap should easily go in between Sunrider frame and roll bar and I would be surprised if this lets in any rain or wind. Back pair has coat hooks. Truck should get to dealership anytime now since Dorian is long gone and dealership is a 2 hour drive from rail facility where my truck arrived a couple of days ago.

Hauled a tuxedo today with no place to hang it in the cab. Where are the little tab thingys above the doors for hangers?

What do you guys recommend? Grab handles?

Hey @steffen707 please see this post (and others of mine) in the thread Front grab handles with Bestop Sunrider. These are the only coat hangers that I know of for a Gladiator. Seller ran out of them and shipped me just the grab handles. Is sending me the coat hangers this week. Have read that Jeep wrote somewhere that coat hooks and supposed to be included but people are saying that they are missing. A big oops for Jeep!!!!!

Another post from the thread: Coat hooks on Gladiator Rubicon

I ordered these grab handles from EBay. They come with 2 coat hooks. The seller was out of the coat hooks. But he should be sending them to me sometime early this week. Other sellers on EBay have them. And FYI if you look closely you will see that they say that they don’t fit on a Gladiator but they do. My truck should get into town any day now. And just last Friday I was at my dealership ordering a couple of things. While there I wrapped my grab handles around the roll bar and they easily fit. I also have never seen coat hooks on a Gladiator.

Before and after shot

looks like a completely different truck - outstanding!

Some humble upgrades. Mats, sill guards and Line-X

How do you like the Line-X? What did they charge? Thinking of keeping the liner off my order and having them do it locally.

Today I painted my bumper inserts. I used paint and peel and did not paint my original inserts. These are off a bumper I bought for $25.

This was only a two beer job Look at the poor beer I have to drink after I bought my JTR

I bought this set at Harbor Freight for $6 to help pull out the push rivets or whatever they are called.

Popped off all but bottom inside rivet.

Swing it down so that I could get to the 7mm screw hidden in the little square hole.

Take pic open another beer.

Pop off the insert using new nylon pry bar and pop in the new one.

Repeat until your beers are gone.

I am not sure if I like it yet. I may try white next week. What do you guys think?

I’m not a fan of the red. Looks too much like lipstick....that being said ,do what pleases ya. I’d think the white would be cool! I’m going to do mine as well but I’m eliminating the silver on my Overland. Going with black
using the plasti-dip coating. See how that turns out.
Cheers

Since you asked, I personally don't like the red there. Sticks out too much, kinda like a funny red head with silly twirled mustache. I like the old Milwaukee beer though, not the champagne of beers, but solid.

Installed the BRI bedside storage and the rotopax.

Actually when I first saw this I was mad...

I'm like "who the hell is BRI and somebody should tell @BuiltRight they stole his look. Looks just like Built Right Industries......... Oh, hah...... I'm dumb".

Hey @BK_Yeti, looks like on the passenger side big panel you didn't install the lower right hand bolt.....
